Episode 24: The Science of Overtraining
Have you ever felt like your running is getting worse, even as you put in more training? In this episode, we delve deep into the topic of overtraining syndrome and training-overload (signs of overtraining without a medical diagnosis). Overtraining is characterized by a long-term decline in performance, as well as symptoms affecting your overall health and well-being. Overtraining affects recreational runners and it is essential for runners to have knowledge of overtraining to both treat it and prevent it.
Discussion points include:
Is there no such thing as overtraining, just under-recovery - or does overtraining exist?
Defining functional overreaching, non-functional overreaching, and overtraining
The signs and symptoms of overtraining
The underlying mechanisms of overtraining
Short-term and long-term consequences of overtraining
What to do if you are overtraining
Training approaches to minimize the risk of overtraining
